C-145 with Dual Ariens Snowblowers

[BuffaloD200 46]

This somebody on here?

Dude fabbed up dual 24" Ariens snowblowers and mounted to a C-145.

I'm strongly considering doing something similar and have questions.

That video is 15 years old so I haven't been around log enough to know if it was someone here. 

Doesn't look specifically familiar.  

 

Excellent idea.  Can't tell if the execution was a success.

Hard to see, but it looks like he was happy with it!  Love the wave at the end of the second video!

Ask them anyway! You'll need a good 90 deg gearbox. There's lots of guys on here that can provide info and ideas even though they haven't built one.

I was thinking of something like that before getting a big WH 2 stage. Still think about it once in a while as I have some blowers out there to use. Even if you use a larger 30" or 32" and add wings to the sides

I’m not sure you’d need a gearbox since something like a mower deck mule would probably also work (with a suitable idler/tensioner). Snowblowers don’t need to be lifted more than a few inches and that helps with belt routing. I can definitely see that with a lot of area to clear, 48 or 60 inches of blower would come in handy.
